The tension between Panthers safety Eric Reid and Eagles counterpart Malcolm Jenkins was palpable https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Greg-Little-Jersey , even before yesterday’s pre-game shouting match.But even after Reid called him a “sellout” for his work with the Players Coalition 鈥?suggesting that taking money from owners undercut the intent of Colin Kaepernick’s protests of police brutality and racial inequality 鈥斅燡enkins took the high road after yesterday’s loss to the Panthers.鈥淵ou couldn鈥檛 pay me to say anything negative about them,鈥?Jenkins said, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of the Charlotte Observer. 鈥淚 look around the league and I鈥檓 proud of guys that are active in their communities, that are using their voice as a platform like never before 鈥?including Colin and including Eric. I think he deserves to have a job in this league Brian Burns Jersey , I鈥檓 glad that he does have one. I think that his talent is speaking for itself. I think his stance is the only reason he was not in the league.鈥淚鈥檓 glad that was rectified, I think right now what鈥檚 happening in the context of our country and athletics is unprecedented. I鈥檓 proud to be a part of that and a part of everybody that鈥檚 been moving that needle.鈥滻t’s not the first time Jenkins has spoken in support of Reid, but聽Reid was calm in tone but firm in words for Jenkins after the game.鈥淚 believe there鈥檚 a lot of players who have stepped up for Colin,鈥?Reid said. 鈥淚 believe Malcolm capitalized on the situation 鈥?he co-opted the movement that was started by Colin to get his organization funded.

The Panthers opted for an older grade of rookie this year, which is necessitating some changes.Panthers coach Ron Rivera told the team’s official website (EXCLUSIVE) that with a different demographic, they’re doing their rookie minicamp differently.They only signed four undrafted rookies this year, partly because they signed eight players from the defunct AAF. They’re also bringing in fewer tryout players this year. They’ve had as many as 37 in the past Ryan Kalil Color Rush Jersey , but that number will be closer to a dozen this week.“We signed so many of the AAF guys, so we don’t have as many undrafted rookies like we’ve had in the past,” Rivera said. “Instead of trying to inundate [the rookies] with the physical part, we’re going to focus on the X’s and O’s and the learning process with how we do things.”The Panthers have some rookies who could play significant roles this year (pass-rusher Brian Burns Graham Gano Jersey , left tackle Greg Little, and backup quarterback Will Grier), so a more focused approach could help them get meaningful work instead of evaluating a bunch of guys who are competing for the 85th through 90th spots on a roster that will be 53 at the start of the regular season.
